  • Hey everyone, it's Tara Stiles, and welcome to Livestrong Woman. So today, I'm going to

  • show you how to make a really simple granola that's really tasty, and you can throw in

  • all of your favorite stuff. So we're just gonna start with a bowl, a baking dish, and

  • our oven preheated to 350 degrees. And all that goes in here is some rolled oats, that's

  • our base. And you can really put in all of your favorite stuff. So, I have some sour

  • cherries which I really like there. So raisins are great too. This is a mix of dark chocolate

  • and almonds and some pecans, things like that. So that's gonna go in. Have some of these.

  • And we have some sunflower seeds already a little bit seasoned, so that's exciting. And

  • to mix this all up, you can kinda just start by hand a little bit, but it's going to be

  • some maple syrup and some coconut oil. So you're probably gonna use, depends on how

  • much you got in here, probably about a quarter cup of coconut oil. So you can kinda measure

  • it out -- the whole less is more -- start with a little bit and then add as you go.

  • And a little bit more of maple syrup, which is very exciting. So, you could use your hands,

  • or you could use a spoon. So just kinda get in there, mix it all up, make sure the whole

  • situation is covered in the liquid. And there we go. So we're gonna need more maple syrup

  • and more coconut oil. And this is gonna be awesome, so you'll never have to buy cereal

  • again. This is also great -- you can make this and take it with you to work or wherever

  • you're going, and you can have a healthy, homemade snack. And all your friends will

  • say, "Hey, where did you buy that granola?" And you can say, "I made it myself." And that's

  • exciting. So here we go, it's looking all covered in our nice mixture there. And going

  • to add a little bit of cinnamon here on top, or rather a lot of cinnamon, to get started,

  • and then we'll give that a good stir. So after you've gotten this all mixed pretty thoroughly,

  • we're just gonna spread it out on our baking dish and throw it in the oven for about 20

  • to 30 minutes. And you'll notice when it's done because it'll get all crispy, and it'll

  • look amazing. And you'll probably wanna eat it all warm, which is fine too, because it'll

  • taste really good. So we're just spreading this out here on our cookie sheet. And because

  • its got the oil and the maple syrup, you can use a wax paper or aluminum foil if you want,

  • but it works fine without it as well. So, there we go. Looks all exciting. And get all

  • our last little bits in here. So, don't wanna be wasteful. Alright, so, there we go. Looks

  • pretty darn good already. And we're going in the oven. Alright, so we're gonna go check

  • on our granola. Here we go. And it's looking pretty amazing. I gotta say, very excited.

  • So, awesome, awesome, awesome. So be careful because your granola is gonna be hot, and

  • it should be, so that's okay. You wanna just kinda slide this into our bowl. Alright, so,

  • pretty exciting. Again, really hot, so be careful. Don't spill it like I did, but that's

  • okay if you do. Cleans up good. So I'm just gonna give it a little bit of an airing out

  • because I know it's really hot. But it looks so good, I have to try it. Now this is gonna

  • make you a lot of friends. This granola is amazing. Try it out, let me know what you

  • think. And I'll see you later. Bye.

Hey everyone, it's Tara Stiles, and welcome to Livestrong Woman. So today, I'm going to
